Unión del Barrio, a longstanding revolutionary immigrants’ rights group who has been on the frontline of protecting communities from ICE in Los Angeles, released a statement on the execution of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. It’s worth reading in full:

“There are many reasons to blockade: to call attention to or prevent an injustice, to support other direct actions by securing a space or creating a distraction, to decrease traffic fatalities.” a guide for reasons

Fair wasn't pleased about me trying to contact him, and asking questions about his extremist activities. Fair, wearing a flannel shirt and suspenders, showed up at my house a couple months later with about five other Nazis who briefly performed Hitler salutes. 4/4 www.rawstory.com/hunted-by-na...

NEW: 8 men linked to Vinlanders Social Club, a notorious violent racist skinhead group, have been detained for hate crimes. Police in Charlotte, NC seized 3 members' phones last October after they brought knives and brass knuckles to a pro-Palestine protest. 1/4 www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Billionaires are the LAST people who should be shaping homelessness policy. They don't know what it's like to have to choose between feeding their family or paying rent. The Cicero Institute's attacks on evidence-based housing policies has only made things worse.

"I am so glad I am Canadian". Babe, wake up. It's Canada's armored vehicles, guns, security contractors, surveillance tech & digital platforms being used to suppress resistance south of the so called border & everywhere from Sudan, to Palestine, to Haiti.

I mentioned over the weekend that it looked like some of the MAGAverse was splitting from the Trump-endorsed narrative about Alex Pretti's killing. But by this morning virtually the entirety of MAGAworld is toeing the line pushed by Trump, Miller, Noem, Hegseth etc... www.wired.com/story/the-in...

Beloved Minnesota, we don't want to leave you. But we have to return to Chicago for at least a few days to wrap up some reporting. We need to purchase new safety gear and replenish funds. If you'd like to support our frontline and investigative work (we love monthly pledges!)—here's how to do that:

Grieve the version of humanity you believed in, the one where everyone wants good things for everyone else. It’s a beautiful vision for the future, but a fantasy of the past and present. We will never get to a future we’ve dreamed of if we won’t admit we’re not living in that dream right now.

This is for liberals and progressives. This is about ICE, Border Patrol, and cops in general:

“These young people are using homemade rifles to take on the illegitimate coup government of their country, which is one of the strongest militaries in Southeast Asia” i ordered this book after reading the transcript realizing how timely it is to our current struggle in US. the courage of peoples

The funeral of Mya Thwet Thwet Khine marked a turning point in the spring revolution. People knew what was at stake and kept coming out

I keep seeing lists like these at protests. They keep getting longer. Seen on the back of a protester at the Coalition Against The Trump Agenda rally and march. 1/25/26.

I will be speaking at this event!

"At times, Minneapolis reminded me of what I saw during the Arab Spring in 2011, a series of street clashes between protesters and police that quickly swelled into a much larger struggle against autocracy… This is a leaderless movement that has emerged in a spontaneous and hyperlocal way."

"This isn't America!" it literally is the only version of America many of us have ever known. Some of you have been shoved across the threshold and forced to reckon with the violence which is foundational to this country

Jonathan Choe (Turning Point USA) has arrived in Minneapolis. Choe, identifies as a journalist, but works for a PAC that supports Trump. He claims he was detained by State Patrol during chaos and confusion. He’s an agitator, propagandist at best. Seen: 1-26-26

Minneapolis, MN - Very developing situation here. FPS agents ran into the hotel. Tear gas deployed. Hotel patrons forced to put their hands up. One agent’s nose bloodied.

“Keeping our streets safer” by…holding my riot gun in between my fucking knees at a crowd of unarmed media so I can struggle to pull the pin on my smoke grenade

I’ve just published a little project with my data extraction code for PublicSquare, the Trump-aligned company offering advertising and other services for right-wing American businesses.

It's kinda weird how Australian media sees white nationalist rallies and calls them "anti-immigration", but it's also a reflection of the degraded nature of media and public discourse & no small reason for its parlous state.

We've long argued that Trump's long-term plan is to use ICE as an all-purpose paramilitary force to impose fascism extrajudicially. Reports are suggesting that ICE agents will be in Milan for the 2026 Olympic Games this February. What do the Olympics have to do with immigration? We'd like to know.

"Alex Pretti, killed by ICE, was one of us...he loved walking his dog, spending time in the outdoors, and riding and racing bikes..."

Expose yourself to the horrors. Sit with it. Bear the full weight of it. Cry about it in the dark, if you have to. These are dark times, and it’s appropriate. But then get up, wash your face, and be about your work.

happy birthday to political prisoner Marius Mason! he's also ian anarchist, environmental, animal rights activist as well as a loving parent, artist, poet, and musician, currently serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of property damage carried out in defense of the planet.

🔴 Border Patrol Agent "Clapping" Appears to be this Shitbag.

"Come out to so called Fort Worth to show support with the Prairieland Defendants, if your collective is interested in putting on and/or participating in one or multiple events. Support those who take a stand against ICE and are now facing state repression."

Today in Australia is Invasion Day (aka: Australia Day). While for the colonialist state it marks the 1788 landing of the British First Fleet at Sydney Cove, for decades the date has been marked to mourn the invasion and colonisation by the British stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1340...

‘[what] the racist violence being promoted in the US has in common with the violent ethnonationalism that destroyed the former Yugoslavia: …most people thought the place they lived was too peaceful and progressive for the horror to be possible, and both produced strong contemporaneous resistance’

New episode is out! In this discussion I talk to a friend from @crimethinc.com about the past year, how we got here, and what strategic horizons may be open to us now. The days have been dark, but the fires burning in the distance are getting brighter. thebeautifulidea.show/fires-in-the...

Minneapolis, MN - A view from the inside entrance to the lobby of the hotel where the noise demonstration against ICE is happening.

I cannot stress enough that you SHOULD NOT DO THIS. Stop peace policing. Kill the cop in your head. They have already killed multiple people ON CAMERA. They don’t need an “excuse.” Don’t be a snitch.

I fear that our use of "citizen" legitimizes the criminalization of undocumented people & dehumanized them.

this text is free. for those who believe that only non-violent tactics are essential in our fight, please read this before it’s too late.

Moments like this and the response they get should lead us to question if many around us actually believe fascism is here and despotic rule is expanding. If you do believe as much, know what hierarchy and orders will mean for all these forces that people hope will save them.

“The definition of ‘violence’ is not neutral.”

peace police are police & a danger to activists everywhere

What I saw last night at the PDX anti-ICE rally hosted by @socialistalt.bsky.social and @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social was one of the most cowardly, embarrassing, and dangerous things I've seen. The so-called security and organizers prioritized the safety of literal fascists over the community.

My friend wrote this about Alex. She was his last nursing student. He taught her lessons we all need right now.

Can you imagine the fortitude it takes for these families to protest from the inside of an ICE camp? Eyes on Dilley.
